Pre-Registration Only – Any athlete and coach wishing to register in advance of the day they compete can do so on Thursday evening.  Athletes and accredited coaches only (must be on the WAKO Canada list) can register and receive their wrist bands.  Once registered you will be able to go to weigh-ins immediately on the day you compete.  No weigh-ins will happen on Thursday.  You do not have to pre-register on Thursday, however it will save you time on the day you have to weigh-in. Chief Officials will be on hand to answer any questions from any coaches.

All Tatami athletes can weigh-in on Friday (one weigh in only) but ring sport athletes must weigh-in and complete their medical each day they compete.  If you do not compete on Friday you do not have to weigh-in (ring discipline).

Please note – only athletes will be permitted into the weigh in room – absolutely no coaches, parents or spectators will be allowed inside the weigh in room.  Athletes that fail to make weight will be provided a document with the weight change required and they will be allowed one additional weigh in attempt after one hour.

Opening Ceremonies – WAKO Canada is incredibly excited about the 20th anniversary and of our Truth and Reconciliation Theme. Our opening will give land recognition to the First Nations of the Niagara Region.  We also have a special performance from the renowned group – CHARGING HORSE COLLECTIVE.
